I know on my amateur jazz band's album, we used Auto Tune. We're not ashamed of it either. Do we have time to practice the tunes 100 times or try a dozen takes? No way!
It does feel sloppy if professionals are using Auto Tune, especially in the genre of jazz, where talent is still very much front and center.
